Northport Camp Ground and Vicinity.

N0rthp0rt Camp Ground and Vicinity.
Hon. $. l.. Millikcn has bought the Winslow cot
tage, South Shore.
The coming issue of the Sea Breeze will contain
list of the residents on the Camp Ground.
Mrs. A. d. Chase and friends, of Belfast, are
cupying Shady Bank cottage, South Shore.
Sunday was a cold day, on the shore, and in the
city and country as well-a striking contrast to the
red-hot Sunday of the previous week.
Mr. and Mrs. Strout, and son, of Woburn, Mass,
are enjoying vacation on the North Shore the
guests of DR.. and Mrs &. =. Lombard at Birch
wood.
The Mary Morgan brought an excursion from
up-river to the Camp Ground last Sunday, but the
! Rockland and Morgan did not make their Satur-
day night trips down.
Mr.. A. b. Howes entertained a party of friends
at Hazel Bank cottage, North Shore, yesterday af-
tcrnoon. The entertainment was in honor of his
brother, L. W. IIowes, Esq, of Boston.
Eighty persons registered on the summit of Mt.
Percival last Sunday and the clear weather Of the
past few days has attracted many who have enjoy
ed the lovely views from this cminence.
One thing may pc said in favor of the late fog
null and accompanying rains. They have left the
country looking almost fresh and green as in
the spring time and laid the dust in the roads fora
while
During the coming Methodist campmeeting the
music will be in charge of Rev. C. \. Southland, of
Brewer, who has led the singing for several years,
and he specially requests singers and society
| chornscs to be present and aid him during the
meetings.
The water from the Northrort mineral spring is
coming into use. The spring is located the
farm of Mr.. Jesse L. Priest in Northport, about
five minutes walk from the Camp Ground and
ten minutes walk from Temple Heights.
Mr.. T.. ID. Burd, of Boston, who built sea wall
last fall around his premises at Little River is
clearing up the beach, and the Improvement is
noticeable by every one who drives past. The
Birds Nest occupies one OF the most picturesque
and pleasantest spots on the shore.
The South Orrlngton Methodist Society is to
build society building at Northport very soon.
| The materials were furnished by Mr.. W. p. Dick
ey and they OH the spot where the house is to
be constructed. The work will be pushed as rap
idly as possible, and it is expected to finish ii in
short time
The Camp Ground never looked ncat2r or pref
tier than now, and it is worth while to visit it be-
fore the inevitable litter and confusion caused by
the crowds who come to campmceting. The
grounds are in fine order, the cottages as rule
are neatly painted and in good repair, and we
doubt If the convenienccs were ever better than
this season 1t is possible to live as comfortably and
| as well on the shore Us in the city. The butcher,
| the baker AMI the ice man call at your door, and
stores near at hand supply all the necessaries and
many of the Injuries. The property changing
hands this season is bought for occupancy and not
| for speculation, and Northports summer business
is evidently on Il solid foundation.
